Starting fullback Jason McKie is battling a quad injury, so the Bears promoted practice squad fullback Jason Davis.
McKie is unlikely to play against the Vikings this Sunday night.
Jason Davis, a former Illini, recently re-joined the practice squad after being released by the Oakland Raiders.
McKie was injured during Friday’s practice.
He has started eight of 11 games this season, with two rushing touchdowns and one touchdown reception.
The Bears placed Nathan Vasher on injured reserve Saturday with a broken right hand, ending the defensive back’s season.
He recorded only 29 tackles with one interception and three pass breakups.
He has 18 career interceptions, but only two in the last two seasons.
Nathan Vasher had surgery on his wrist earlier this season but re-aggravated the injury after sustaining the break against the Rams.
This is the second consecutive season Vasher has been placed on IR.
A partially torn groin muscle ended his 2007 season.
Corey Graham will take over Vasher’s role in the starting lineup. Trumaine McBride and Danieal Manning will be the other active corners looking for some playing time.
Series leader: Vikings, 50-42-2.
Streaks: The Vikings have won two of the last three against the Bears.
Dome Field Advantage: The Vikings have enjoyed a 4-1 record this season at home.
Keys for the Bears: Kyle Orton is 18-10 as a starter, and in the last meeting with the Vikings, he threw for 283 yards and two touchdowns for a 114.5 passer rating.
Bears RB Matt Forte leads NFL rookies with 1,245 yards from scrimmage and 59 first downs.
Keys for the Vikings: Vikings RB Adrian Peterson has enjoyed great success against the Bears, rushing for 423 yards, averaging 6.8 yards per carry and scoring seven touchdowns in three career games against the Bears.

With his 35-yard field goal last Sunday against the Packers, Robbie Gould officially entered the NFL record book as the fourth most accurate kicker in league history.
The NFL career field goal accuracy is based on 100 field goals made, and Gould’s kick in Green Bay was his 100th field goal (out of 118 attempts). His 84.7 percentage trails only Mike Vanderjagt (86.5), Nate Kaeding (85.8) and Shayne Graham (85.5).
Way to go Robbie! Your good as Gould!
